"Bad ball!" He had no choice but to throw another bad ball.

"Again?" The catcher wanted to say mmp in his heart!

He thought so, and his movements were not slow at all, but when he raised his arm, he saw that Sendou was running back and was almost on base, so he had no choice but to give the ball to the pitcher!

"Concentrate on the hitters! Be prepared to lose one point!" The catcher issued Signals!

Second base is behind the pitcher, which means that even if he is far enough away from the base, he can still see the ball-gripping gesture of Manaka, the right-hand pitcher, which is the ball type.

There have been two bad goals, and both Sendou and Shirazu believe that the next ball will be a good one.

"Good shot, you really want it, don't you?" Sendou thought when he saw the opponent's curve ball holding gesture!

"Steal a base!"

"Damn it! It's that time again!" the three-high catcher thought!

Shirazu, who originally planned to wait for a straight ball, took a strong swing!

When you see a stolen base, you should interfere even if you are not playing!

Therefore, this deliberately empty swing is extremely slow and causes huge interference to the catcher's passing!

"Succeeded in stealing a base! This game is really exciting!"

"Uh!" Head Manager Oota is almost dying and his face is almost deformed!

"Ah haha, it would be great if you were the batter at this time. You two bastards complement each other perfectly!" Lowly Kuramochi said to Miyuki.

The people next to him actually nodded in agreement. Thinking about it, Miyuki is the kind of person who can hit the four-stick level of attack power in the scoring circle. Although it is a little worse than Captain Tetsu now, the difference is not too much.

And Sendou, if he practices base running seriously, is also the kind of player who can reach the scoring circle as soon as he hits the bases, which perfectly fits the bad habits of Miyuki.

"Hey!" Miyuki resisted in a low voice, indicating that you are in front of me.

Kuramochi was not the only one who thought of this. Even Rei-chan outside the court thought of this almost at the same time. When he thought about the gap between Miyuki's scoring circle and the one without one, he couldn't help but lightly hold his forehead on the sidelines.

Needless to say, the two of them are really compatible at the moment, and these two sluts may have a good chemistry.

As for how to let Sendou practice baserunning skills, or whether Sendou needs to practice it, that is what Coach Kataoka should think about.

After all, Sendou is still a first-year student, and building a physical foundation as a freshman is the most important thing.

Moreover, it is no secret that Coach Kataoka plans to give him the main position.

So in addition to physical fitness, the first important point is to let Sendou adapt to the high school rhythm as soon as possible. Even if there is no progress, this alone can take him to the next level. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not adaptable to the rhythm.

In terms of special attack, there is a feeling that he has some power and nowhere to use it during the game.

Compared with junior high school players, high school players' movements are faster and more impactful. Even the ball speed is dozens of kilometers different from that of junior high school players.

The feeling of actual combat and Pitching Machine are completely different.

The second key point should have been defense, but looking at it today, since it is a relatively free outfield, his defense in the outfield is enough.

Then the second key point is to strengthen his offensive and defensive tactical coordination with the infield defensive formation.

Base running, a low-priority practice, will be postponed. In comparison, his hitting is more anticipated!

in the field,

Due to Sendou's activity and cooperation with Shirazu, he has successfully reached third base, and the number of balls is one good and two bad, which is beneficial to the batter. Now Ichidai San really needs to be prepared to lose a run.

And try to prevent Shirazu from getting on base.

After all, the runner has too much room to operate at third base, and the runner is the most annoying type.

Because, Sendou's distance from third base is still exaggerated, but it is much narrower than the previous two bases.

I'm afraid that after all, third base is facing Manaka, just like a left-hand pitcher facing first base, but I still feel a little tired watching Ichidai San's player, he is running too fast!

"Shirazu-san, that's all I can do, the rest is up to you!" Sendou, who left the third base significantly to put more pressure on the opponent, secretly glanced at Shirazu at home plate.

He didn't dare to look at them for too long. There was no need to turn around at third base Pickoff Throw and Manaka. If he was caught looking elsewhere and was killed, all the time would have been in vain.

On the contrary, he will be laughed to death..., that Sunglasses Uncle will also scold Sendou to death!

When I think of Sunglasses Uncle's face, I feel so scary!

So Sendou still knows that there must be a limit to the waves.

"Hey! That guy Eijun should be playing toss and catch with Furuya Satoru at school now, and have a lot of fun!

Just wait! I will establish myself as a starter!

I couldn't go across the country last year, but I will take you there this year!

Koshien!

"Sendou stared at Manaka, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and once again ran a little distance towards home base.

Sendou never thought about whether Sawamura could enter First Team, he always believed it!

"Crack!"

"Ku! ku!"

"Safe!"

It is extremely dangerous to face the pitcher's separation, but Sendou still boldly puts pressure on the pitcher's mound!

Because he could tell that the opponent's catchers began to focus on Shirazu at home plate.

Then he would make some noise and force the pitcher to throw Pickoff Throw to distract him.

Only Sendou dared to play like this. At this time, Head Manager Oota's heart could no longer bear it.

After several consecutive Pickoff Throws, Shimizu stopped Manaka. The effect of leaving the bases and pitching Pickoff Throw is two-way.

Continuously throwing Pickoff Throw can distract the pitcher's attention and even affect the pitching rhythm. Similarly, the runner's constant throwing of Pickoff Throw will also affect the runner's running rhythm.

The competition is endurance, but Sendou is very confident in his sense of rhythm.

On the other hand, let Shirazu-senpai relax. Once he hits a hit, it doesn't matter even if his rhythm is ruined.

I believe the opponent also knows this, but most people don't dare to play like this. Even Kuramochi is very honest at third base. After all, it is too dangerous to send the pitcher to play off the base when Fastball is slow, and the reaction may be 0.1 seconds slower.

Coach Kataoka understood the intention of Sendou and knew that this round was the key, so he played Signals to force Shirazu to score points!

When Sendou saw Signals, he retracted to third base.

Now, the people at Ichidai San High were even more confused. Let the eight sticks decide the outcome?

Not only them, but even Seidou people didn't understand. For example, Head Manager Oota was already shouting in a low voice!

Speaking of which, shouting softly is probably Head Manager Oota's special skill. He opens his mouth wide and shouts, but he doesn't dare to use force, which makes the sound sound like a shrunken shout.

Even Coach Kataoka frowned, but soon relaxed.

He believed that Sendou did not dare to disobey his instructions, so it was not difficult to guess the purpose. He hoped to create opportunities by forcing points to run, and help Shirazu get on base.

If you are too far away from the base, Shirazu successfully bunts and the opponent will not care about you at all. What if you are very close to the base and give the opponent the illusion that you can kill yourself?

Once you fail to kill yourself, you will be powerless to stop Shirazu from taking over!

But this is a very risky move. If it weren't for such an important situation, and if the coach hadn't given the players a high degree of freedom, they would probably have stopped it.

At all times, you must show your strength. Of course, this kind of strength is not given without thinking.

I can only say that the styles of Sendou and Seidou match very well!

Coach Kataoka, who originally wanted to cultivate Sendou, is even more unlikely to stop!

At this critical moment, it is very important for the players to be able to maintain a calm mind. It can not only cultivate the players' confidence but also exercise their mentality. This is completely killing two birds with one stone.

Not daring to take risks for the sake of stability is like playing basketball and not daring to shoot a three-pointer from the open position for fear of taking the blame.

Boldness and carefulness are the most important qualities of an athlete.

But Ichidai San High knows nothing about this. Although he is confused, baseball is still played how it should be played!

Sendou's actions also successfully made Shimizu focus on him, so Sendou's goal was achieved.

This is also Overt Stratagem. He will definitely be discovered when he returns to base, and if he is discovered, he will definitely re-estimate the possibility of hitting Sendou, instead of just giving away a point without even looking at Sendou if he succeeds in bunting.

Once we recalculate that there is a high possibility that Sendou will be hit, we will definitely try it. If it fails, it will only send a runner to first base, which is not a bad loss.

This kind of mentality of not losing money is Sendou's trap, because these are all illusory. Passing home plate means giving away the number of on-base hits, and the possibility of hitting Sendou is almost zero.

Of course this is zero on a tactical level!

Even if the tactics are overwhelming, this kind of risky routine depends more on the actual performance.

"Shit! Now there is a runner on third base with no outs. The ball count is one good and two bad. The pitcher is ready to pitch!" The commentator saw the pitcher standing upright and getting ready to throw. He began to explain the live situation. Every pitch in the game has a pause, so he must always broadcast the situation.

After all, if Sendou returns to base, there is no point in containing it. It can only be a showdown, so it is not difficult to judge.

Manaka still doesn't dare to use the arm swing. With the speed of Sendou, it is possible for Stealing Home to use the arm swing.

"Poof!" Manaka stepped hard, and was greeted by Shirazu's bunt!

"Forced points!" But at this point in time when he was stuck, he was no longer allowed to think too much.

"Ding!"

Shirazu and Sendou ran the bases at the same time. Shimizu saw Sendou starting at this moment, and it seemed that he didn't like the acceleration rhythm at the start! (Intentionally, after all, his speed impressed the opponent too much. If the bunt is good, the opponent cannot be completely fooled!)

"Home plate!" So, Shimizu was finally fooled!

So Sendou showed no mercy and the speed skyrocketed.

The first baseman and the second baseman catch the ball and quickly return it to home plate.

At this time, all orders must be obeyed by the catcher.

"Bang!" At the same time that Shimizu received the ball and turned around, Sendou returned to the base. It looked thrilling, but in fact it was completely slow!

"Safe!"

Shimizu threw the ball to first base unwillingly!

"Crack!"

"Safe!"

Shirazu also reached base extremely easily!

"Finally Seidou scored an extra run and took a two-run lead! Now it's still the first base with no outs!" Maybe Sendou went to great lengths to help Shirazu get on base in order to save one run, but the batter with no outs had his turn at nine.

Even if Senior Tanba is out (in the second half of the inning, players will be replaced when on field duty), it will be the top's turn to hit the line as soon as he is out, which is very important!

Sendou's great effort and cooperation with Shirazu saved Seidou one out, allowing Seidou to have Center Batting Lineup's turn in this round.

In the end, even if Manaka's condition improved, he still suppressed Center Batting Lineup of Seidou from the very beginning. In the end, including Sendou's one point, he scored a total of three points, and the score was opened to four points!

Ten to six!

Coincidentally, the lead batter in the next round is Sendou again!

Ichidai San High feels a little uncomfortable! ╯╰

Why Sendou again?

Don't ask, just ask Masuko-senpai Timely Hit but there is no one in the scoring circle, Miyuki is withering again!

When Miyuki hit the powerless pitcher Line Drive, Sendou spit out all the water he just drank!

Miyuki himself looked embarrassed!

Three-Run Home Run, who was extremely brave in the first round, is now being screwed to death!

"Sendou and Isashiki swap. Sendou, please take care of the right field. The opponent plays more right field. It is enough to hand the left field to Isashiki!" As soon as the attack ended, Coach Kataoka announced a decision that he had not said before!

"Uh!"

Sendou I really want to say, don't you want to change your career? Center field is huge!

But he looked into Sunglasses Uncle's eyes and said, he didn't dare!

"I don't care how lazy you are, if you make a defensive mistake because of your mistake, go to the second army and reflect!"

"Hi! ⊙△⊙!"

"It's really scary!" After agreeing, Sendou patted his little heart!

"Notification of change of player Seidou High School. The player Kawakami-kun was exchanged with Mr. Jiuban Tanba!

Nine bats, pitcher, Kawakami-kun!

In addition, Sendou-kun becomes a center fielder, and Isashiki-kun becomes a left fielder!

Three bats, left fielder, Isashiki-kun!

Seven sticks, stalwart, Sendou-kun!

Above! "

Seidou started the second half of the inning with a position swap and a pitcher change.

"Come on!

Don't let it go, or I'll kill you! "While running to the outfield, Jun-san expressed concern for Sendou, but the words and tone were terrible!

"It's great not to be in the same dormitory as Jun-san! Although he is a nice person, he is so scary!" He nodded sincerely to Jun-san's teachings, and at the same time he was glad that his roommate was not him.

The appearance of Kawakami stopped the bleeding of Seidou, who had lost a lot of points in two games, and suppressed it with zero points!

"Ping!"

"Crack!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

Sendou, who played for the third time, was finally sanctioned by Manaka, who had recovered his form!

After being chased, Slider struck out!

After Sendou's weakness in judging good and bad balls was discovered, Sendou struggled exceptionally in this game.

Not only is Ball Trajectory difficult to fight, but the real problem is the feeling of inadequacy that the power cannot be used, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger!

The combination of the two gave Sendou a strange feeling.

I feel that I can compete with Manaka-san, but I feel that they are not at the same level, that is, Manaka is one level higher than me now.

Although there is a sense of fatigue, Manaka's state in this game against Sendou is extremely close to that of Chun Jia.

And the sound of wiping the stick also made all Ichidai San High tremble with fear!

Sendou's Long Hit ability plus that footwork, Ichidai San High's player, is really a bit psychological.

Note, this last point is not included in today's 4,000 updates. I think I still have this bit of credibility in everyone's eyes.

If there are typos or other errors, please come to Qidian and let me know!

Now I can only change the contents of the last two or three days.

Before coding today, I made some detailed corrections to the first one or two chapters.

But I still often make omissions. Many brothers don't read what the author says in the text!

The final request for votes is all said here!
